- Title
BMI‐ and age‐related associations with mortality from COVID‐19.
- Authors
Austin, T. M.; Miller, B. E.
- Abstract
Thus, the regression models should account for BMI in order to better ascertain the correlation between timing of surgery after COVID-19 and mortality. We congratulate the COVIDSurg and GlobalSurg Collaboratives for their recent article [1], which addresses a fundamental surgical concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since higher BMIs are associated with a greater risk of contracting COVID-19 [2] and COVID-19-related mortality [3], this variable could potentially complicate the results of this investigation and conclusions based on its findings.
